Can green ammonia stop our addiction to fossil fuels?
WEBJan 19, 2021 · Svein Tore Holsether. Ammonia made by fossil fuels accounts for approximately 5% of world's gas consumption. Industry reliance on ammonia necessitates shift to 'green ammonia' – produced using renewable hydrogen. Cross-sector alliances aim to make this 'green hydrogen' a viable alternative to reduce emissions and generate large-scale investment.
A new production method could make ammonia greener | World …
WEBMay 31, 2023 · A new process developed at Stanford University might take ammonia production onto a more sustainable – and lower-cost – path. The solution appears comparatively simple. It uses water, nitrogen and a sprayer. The researchers applied an iron oxide catalyst to a graphite mesh, which was then fitted inside a gas-power sprayer.
Clean ammonia is key to cutting maritime emissions. Here's why
WEBDec 1, 2023 · Yara Eyde, the world's first clean ammonia-powered container ship, showcases ammonia's potential as a viable zero-emission fuel for shipping. Two of the biggest barriers are to achieve cost-parity between clean and grey ammonia and to align the demand and supply for low-carbon solutions. The world is …
Grey, blue, green – why are there so many colours of hydrogen?
WEBJul 27, 2021 · Black, brown and grey hydrogen. Grey hydrogen is the most common form and is generated from natural gas, or methane, through a process called “steam reforming”. This process generates just a smaller amount of emissions than black or brown hydrogen, which uses black (bituminous) or brown (lignite) coal in the hydrogen-making process.
What is green hydrogen? An expert explains its benefits | World ...
WEBDec 21, 2021 · Green hydrogen is defined as hydrogen produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. This is a very different pathway compared to both grey and blue. Grey hydrogen is traditionally produced from methane (CH4), split with steam into CO2 – the main culprit for climate change – and H2, hydrogen.
